Emperor Yi is invincible

Chapter 211 Assemble, New Dallas!
The Mavericks' current roster isn't perfect.

Donnie Nelson is still looking for a target in free agency.

But by October, basically all the contracts that should be signed have been signed, how can we wait until now?

After picking and picking, they finally completed the roster of 15 people.

Point Guard: Darren Collison, John Terry

Shooting guards: Carter, Middleton, OJ Mayo, Jared Cunningham
Small forwards: Marion, White, Crowder, Brand, Duntai Jones

Power forward: Dirk, Green

Center: Yi Jianlian, Chris Kaman
This lineup is actually not very good, but in Yi Jianlian's eyes, this lineup is much better than last season.

what?
Too few point guards?

Middleton, OI Mayo, and even Green all have the ability to dominate the ball.

Too little big forward?

White, Crowder, and Brand can all reach the power forward position.

Too few centers?

Sorry, Green can also play center!

In Yi Jianlian's opinion, the only problem with this lineup is that Green and others are too young. If Green and Middleton grow up, this is definitely a proper strong lineup!
How did the Warriors rise in later generations?
Do you really think that Curry alone can achieve such results?
nonexistent!

However, after seeing a certain message from the Rockets in the next second, Yi Jianlian suddenly lifted his spirits, how could he forget this guy!

The Rockets are also actively reinforcing.

Their goal this season is actually Warcraft Howard, but in the end they missed Warcraft.

Morey, who failed to operate, could only focus on other people. First, he traded the "star" James Harden who was thinking about day and night from the Thunder, and then began to build a team around Harden.

Livingston is the poor guy forced to make room for Harden!

Livingston was a rookie in 04, and he is considered a veteran now.

But after experiencing injuries, he is no longer at the same level as the early stage of his career, so in Morey's eyes, he is not even qualified to trade.

So, the Mavericks Shi Shiran picked up a leak!

This future general of the Warriors' bench was successfully intercepted by the Mavericks!
In fact, if possible, Yi Jianlian even hopes to get Iguodala, but the difficulty is too great, even almost impossible!
However, under Cuban's instructions, Donnie Nelson still bit the bullet and found the possibility of the Denver Nuggets seeking a deal.

Everyone knows that Cuban is now "favoring" Yi Jianlian.

He has said in front of others more than once that the team will be built around Yi Jianlian this season and try to meet Yi Jianlian's needs.

In this case, even Nelson has to be careful with Yi Jianlian's proposal.

With Livingston, the Mavericks lineup has been strengthened again.

In the arena of the Mavericks, there is now a special confrontational game going on.

On both sides are Yi Jianlian of the red team and Marion of the white team.

Both of them brought four newcomers, which was also a way to quickly familiarize themselves with each other's strength.

Therefore, both sides fought very hard.

"Yi, you guys are going to lose!" Marion said to Yi Jianlian with the corners of his mouth raised high, "Look, I told you not to be so confident and want to win me with three rookies? Do you think you are Mr. Xiao?" Scared?"

The people watching the battle also nodded in agreement.

Take a look at Yi Jianlian's lineup, Livingston, Middleton, Crowder, Green.

Tsk tsk, what kind of crooked melon is this?
Look at the lineup Marion selected, Darren Collison, OJ Mayo, Brand, Chris Kaman.

No matter how you look at it, Marion has an absolute advantage.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the white team played against the red team.

Without Yi Jianlian's shot, there was no breakthrough point at all.

They could only rely on Livingston's turnaround jumper to score points. On the contrary, under the organization of Collison, the white team played very smoothly.

"Sean, can you try to hand the ball to Draymond?"

Yi Jianlian suggested that although he is also playing on the court, when he basically does not participate in the offense, he mostly defends pick-and-rolls.

"To him?" Livingston hesitated for a while. He wanted to refuse, but considering Yi Jianlian's status in the team, he still passed the ball to the big black man.

As a result, as soon as it was passed, it was intercepted with a "snap"!

After the steal, Brand directly completed a wave of one-stop layups with a strong wind!

Green continued to dribble, "snap"!
Another steal!

Green dribbles for the third time!
"Snapped!"

The hitter fouled the ball!
After Green suffered two losses, his vigilance became very high this time, and if Brand succeeded again.

Under the command of Yi Jianlian, the three rookies gradually became familiar with each other.

Livingston, who plays off the ball, is obviously more threatening. His turnaround jumper catches the ball and his hit rate is very high!

Middleton was arranged by Yi Jianlian to shoot a three-pointer from the outside.

Although the hit rate is still terrible, judging from the experience of later generations, this is definitely the most suitable path for his growth.

On the contrary, Claude Yi Jianlian asked him to work more on defense.

His natural body will help him a lot in this regard.

After losing the friendly match and without Yi Jianlian making a move, it is really difficult for this group of rookies to win.

Yi Jianlian didn't interfere too much either, he could only make suggestions but could not make decisions, and what the final development would be depends on their own good luck.

With the preseason approaching, the Mavericks officially announced the layoff of guard Jared Cunningham.

Livingston replaced him into the 15-man roster.

At the same time, the preseason of the 2012-2013 season is coming soon!
The team was notified before the game that Dirk would not play in any of the preseason games!
The first two games of the Mavericks preseason are overseas games, one is in Berlin, against the Berlin team of the German League, and one is in China, against the Guangdong Dragon Lions of CB
That's right, it's a relationship!
Berlin is related to Dekla, and Guangdong Province is of course related to Yi Jianlian.

Both games were played with ease, and the Mavericks were warmly welcomed by local fans.

Yi Jianlian also met Hudson this time. This guy is doing well in China now, earns a high salary, eats popular food and drinks spicy food every day, and when Yi Jianlian said he could get him back, this guy didn't want to go back!

In the 8 games of the preseason, the Mavericks ended with a complete victory!

Not losing a game, even if there are strong teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Atlanta Hawks!
This record fell below everyone's glasses.

Because on ESPN's team strength rankings, the Mavericks can only rank tenth this season!
